Question by Mae N: Does source of calories matter for weight loss?
So disregarding the nutrition aspect like how sugar is empty calories etc… Is eating 800 calories of a negative calorie food for example cucumbers(I know that’s a ridiculous amount but just for arguments sake) the same as eating 800 calories of say milkshake? How does the difference effect fat gain if those 800 calories are part of your “daily calorie allowance”? Does it make a difference?

Best answer:

Answer by FredNo it’s not. For calorie sake it might not make much difference regarding weight loss . . but for nutrition sake it makes a big difference in that eating the wrong foods but less of them would still be an unhealthy lifestyle . . theres the rub

“I had heard about this new supplement called LipoBlast Extreme Diet Pills from an online Weight Loss Support Group and because of the money back guarantee I decided to give it a try. I’ m glad I did because within 7 days I lost 8 pounds and 2.5 inches off my waist. And.. after 2 months I lost 34 pounds ! All I can say is I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to buy it” Melissa Rosero – Bakersfield, CA – melissa_rosero@yahoo.com

it,s not that simple. cucumbers are a great source of nutrition. a milkshake is a horrible way to keep your calorie count to, say, 1500 per day. you can eat a lot of veggies compared to a minimalist 800 cal milk shake.

800 calories is 800 calories, it doesn’t matter where they come from. BUT, cucumbers are clearly a healthier choice rather than a milkshake. And there is always a “percentage of calories from fat” which can ruin any diet. Check nutrition labels to see calories from fat. But to answer your question, calories are calories, it doesn’t matter where they are from.
